Fibreglass Pole Repair Instructions
Fibreglass poles are made up of a number of sections and an elasticated cord. The cord runs through each section and is simply knotted at either end.
1. Untie the knot at the end of the pole.
2. Remove the sections one at a time until you reach the section that needs to be replaced (when it is time to re-assemble the pole it is important that the sections are put back in the same order).
3. Measure the section which is to be replaced (the new section will need to be cut to length). Cut the new section to the length measured. We would recommend using a small hacksaw. Once cut, the end should be filed smooth.
4. Re-thread the cord back through the sections and tie a knot at the end.

Why do poles break?
Pole breakages can happen for many reasons, mainly weather, flysheet tensioning or when pitching/striking the tent. As a precaution:
- always make sure the poles ends are fully engaged in each other
- tension the flysheet firmly but not over tight
- if your tent has a "Tension Band System" do not over tighten
- when it is windy make sure the flysheet is taught to avoid loose fabric flapping
- when the tent is used
in extreme temp variances,loosen / tighten the flysheet - always carry a spare section or two and a repair sleeve
